Say hello to the world's oldest "working" sewing machine. With a red Christmas tree light to illuminate your work, and a hefty weight of (probably) over 20lbs, this sucker needed replacement. (I say it's from the 40s. That's just based on the design, but what do I know about the design of sewing machines?)

Here's the replacement. Due to the power outage today, I wasn't able to play with it. But I certainly hope within the next few days I'll be trying to sew those straight seams.

And, here's the proof of the arrival (
finally!)
of winter.

Same here! Work was closed yesterday, but opened today.
Oh yes, it does have a snappy case. Oh yes, it's old :)
Oooh, winter. I want winter as well, not crappy springtime weather in January! *sob*
Have fun with your new sewing machine! I guess I should get mine finally working... ;P
Thanks :) I hope to be able to use it on the weekend!
So I have now finally seen the snow. No time to read much else but at least there is now proof I looked.
Thanks Tammie :) Get through that firewall!!
Cool - I found another knitter who's interested in sewing too! I just finished my first skirt and am really happy with it. The new sewing machine looks really cool, but I like the old one too. My machine is from the late 80s (Viking 960) - bought it on Ebay two years ago and it's worked great. It has a snap-on case too!
It certainly has a "retro charm". The design is pretty cool, but I thought I'd paper myself with a new one :)
